How would you briefly describe your gameplay style?

I’m a willing blocker, embrace special teams, and stay committed to building my body, growing my football IQ, and upholding Fairmont High School’s tradition.

Can you provide a brief description of your mentality or personality?

I am respectful toward both peers and adults and enjoy connecting with fellow students in our school community. Outside of competition, I am laid back and easygoing, but on the field, I am fiercely competitive. I enjoy training and always strive to push for “one more” rep, bringing my teammates along with me.

These experiences have helped me grow and mature, shaping my sense of responsibility, teamwork, and

Have you faced any significant challenges? If so, please describe.

What type of college are you looking for?

Education is very important to my family and me, and I am looking for a college that feels welcoming and like home. I hope to find a place where I can reach my full potential academically, athletically, and spiritually, while also developing relationships that could last a lifetime.
